Michael Sullivan Memoriam

A Short Year Ago Michael J. Sullivan August 9, 1973 - August 22, 2008 Michael, You came into our lives a short 5 1/2 years ago. The hurt as you were living was felt by everyone! We all made a wonderful family life for you with Rian, as a loving husband, uncle, a wonderful son-in-law and a great brother-in-law. You were also Rian's best friend. Michael, we all had so many wonderful times, the beaches at Nags Head, great birthday wishes and wonderful Christmases together. We all miss your loving smile and joking around that we all knew so well. Your kindness and who you were will never be forgotten. Michael, you will always be in our hearts forever. Your niece and nephew Jared and Gracie talk about you all the time, they miss their uncle Michael, who played air hockey, and digging for sand crabs at the beach. Many memorials were arranged for you Michael, in our hearts we were there. Michael, you knew how much we appreciated and loved you and always wanted you to be a part of our family. A short year ago you left us, it only seems like yesterday! You are missed each and every day. You will live in our hearts forever. We Love You, Your Family Rian, Judy, Les, Jared, Gracie, Brad and Becky
